You got the same body style as me, so I'll wager atleast 45k plus miles on it. My old boss had a nice 01 Z71 little over 46k miles his fuel filter failed and it sounds exactly like your problem. My trucks a little over 45k and was starting to have issues till I got mine changed. Hope this helps bud.

start by sprayin carb cleaner in the throttle body to see if it runs if it does then check fuel pressure if that is good buy a noide light and see if the injectors are getting turned off if so its the ecu. if u dont have fuel pressure go for the filter if the filter doesnt change it is the pump

Make sure you recalibrate the isolated retractor solenoid in the quantum flux drive, other wise the gigernome sensor will read wacka doo and then you know it's all down hill from there.

This probably isnt much help but, on my 95 they have a nifty fuel pump test circuit at the fuse box in the engine bay. You jumper the circuit and I think turn the ignition on and if you hear the pump run next step is to check the fuel pressure. Mine just turned out to be a bad relay.
